Red Rock Park

One of our favorite accidental discoveries was Red Rock Park in Gallup NM.  After an aborted attempt to camp at another park that left a lot to be desired, Sarah's keen eye caught a sign for Red Rock from the highway.  The folks running the park were friendly and full of stories and the setting among the, you guessed it, red rocks was spectacular.

Not So New Mexico

Driving through New Mexico we saw old desolate abandoned buildings everwhere we looked.  If we had stopped to see them all we wouldn't yet be past Albuquerque.  But we couldn't resist stopping for a few.

DC At Night

I love walking around a city at night.  The contrast between the bright lights and the deep shadows is compelling.  and every light is a different color.  It's so much fun to find a great scene and do really long exposures in what would otherwise be a fairly dark environment.  Here are a few shots from a trip to Washington DC.  Whereas I of course shot some of the famous landmarks, here I wanted to show more normal, albeit beautiful scenes.

Gloomy Day on the Lake

I recently went exploring around my new city of Chicago.  It was an overcast gloomy day but there was some texture in the sky.  I stopped by a little boat launch area into Lake Michigan and was really struck by the way the grey sky interacted with the surprisingly blue water.
